Signatures vs video messages
GroupGreeting recreates the office card that gets passed around for signing, online. People write a message and can add photos, GIFs and stickers. It's quick for everyone, it suits big groups who just want to sign, and you can add a gift card.
Joycards replaces the signature with a video. Instead of reading a line of text, the recipient sees each person's face and hears their voice, one video after another. Each video is kept separately, so they can come back to their favorites again and again.
When GroupGreeting may be the better fit
Choose GroupGreeting if your group would rather sign than record, if you send a lot of cards and want a pack, or if you'd like to attach a gift card.
When Joycards may be the better fit
Choose Joycards when the moment deserves more than a signature: a farewell, a retirement, a 90th birthday or a get well soon card from people far away. Small cards are free and bigger cards are a single payment per card. See our pricing page.
